Divine Emperor of Death

Back in the Soul Palace, Davis was engaged in Soul Forging Cultivation.

The Stargaze-Risen Emperor Radiance Pill that Davis consumed possessed a fifty percent chance to make him reach Emperor Soul Stage, a twenty percent chance to make him reach Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage, and a five percent chance to even allow him to reach High-Level Emperor Soul Stage.

Therefore, it can be said that its comprehension bestowal was significant and potent, especially when it was not a Normal-Tier Pill but an Advanced-Tier Pill that increased his chances way more, to sixty percent, thirty percent, and ten percent for the three levels, respectively.

Sixty percent was more than enough for a Peak-Level Soul King at the bottleneck to breakthrough into the Emperor Soul Stage, but he was already in the Emperor Soul Stage. Therefore, all the insights that came rushing into his mind were of his level, the Low-Level Emperor Soul Stage followed by the Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Davis opened his eyes, his sapphire pupils appearing to be full of joy.

His comprehension of the soul had actually almost touched the bottleneck to Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage that he knew that when he broke through, comprehension would follow suit, allowing him to enter the Mid-Level Emperor Soul Stage with both comprehension and cultivation!

Nevertheless, his joy stemmed from the fact that this was his first time having his comprehension greater than his cultivation, making him inwardly scream at this wonder.

Furthermore, he also comprehended Light Laws, bringing it to Level One Abstruse Intent in Soul Forging Cultivation!

He wondered if Evelynn would praise him again if he told her the success, but when he looked at her, he couldn't help but gently smile.

Evelynn also sat on a throne and meditated, seemingly having entered a meditative state. She appeared like she was about to have a breakthrough to the Ninth Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation.

It didn't matter if she possessed a cultivation manual or not, and her Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid's Blood and a bit of Earth Dragon Immortal's Blood that made her a fey allowed her to bypass such methods and experience a rapid increase in cultivation. Of course, it only allowed her to reach what she could reach, the peak of the Ninth Stage. After that, a severe bottleneck inhibited her at the end, or so Davis mused, not to mention an even more ruthless heavenly tribulation.

Nevertheless, he offered to give her a Stargaze-Risen Emperor Radiance Pill, but she denied it, stating the same reason again.

Still, he gave it and said that she could give it to Yotan if she was doing a good job. It was unknown to him whether if Evelynn used it for herself or gave it to Yotan or still held it on her, but it didn't matter.

He gazed at her beauty that was blinding to him. There was a dewy feel to her skin, exuding a bit of glow on the cheeks. The sexiness of her shapely eyes, small nose, and crimson lips, and the tranquillity in her expression, all of it made him mesmerized for some time before he took out a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Cauldron with the unknown name before he began to make pills with it.

Two days later, Evelynn trembled as her soul force abruptly surged out of her body, similarly undulating to what Davis experienced. She comprehended the bestowal of insights during the breakthrough state and stepped into the Ninth Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation. Her aura experienced a change, displaying a type of regality that Davis hadn't seen before, making him believe that she was as just as an empress like Isabella and Shirley.

Soon, the soul undulations that blazed in the room became calm as they receded into her body. Once Evelynn stabilized herself in the Ninth Stage of Soul Forging Cultivation, her eyes shot wide open.

However, the first thing she did was look at Davis, her expression clearly expecting something from him.

"Congratulations on breaking through, my wife. You are now a Soul Empress, probably one of the extreme few and highly sought out."

"Sought out by whom? The dumbo called the Emperor of Death?"

Evelynn giggled. However, when she saw him standing up, her expression changed as she pointed.

"Stay right there! You are not near m- Ah!~"

Evelynn disappeared from the place she stayed as she saw him forcefully coming at her. Davis grabbed the empty air and felt nothing to his tears. He missed her by a slight distance.

"Davis, no~ This time, you truly have to spend time with others. That's the greatest reward I require, and you can give me at the moment."

Evelynn spoke while hiding behind a pillar and peeking out in an adorable manner. Davis turned to look at her before he shrugged.

"Well, I am occasionally flirting with the others with my avatar in these two months, but you're right. It's time that I returned and romanced with them for real, but it's almost time for the Four Great Righteous Sects to collect the key to the Forsaken Phoenix Realm from Isabella."

"True, we have to return and show that they can't push us around as they see fit."

Evelynn's expression became solemn as she walked out and appeared before him.

"We'll see how it goes. Whether they coexist or offend is up to them. I'll be your weapon in this battle."

"Evelynn..." Davis couldn't help but smile, "You've come to like battling now?"

Evelynn's lips curved.

"No, but I'll kill anyone who disturbs our peace."

"The Hex Demoness..." Davis's brows raised, "If I were your enemy, I would be scramming as if my life depended on it."

"You jest..." Evelynn blushed at his compliment as she avoided his gaze.

"No, for real." Davis reached out his hands and held her soft hands, "Without my secret abilities, I'm still weaker than my Sexy Demoness. But with you by my side, I feel more assured than ever, and because you were here, I was able to concentrate on learning and cultivating."

Evelynn lightly trembled before she leaped and embraced him.

"Thank you... for not leaving me..."

Davis trembled before he patted her back and ran his finger through her purplish-green hair in a gentle manner.

"Silly woman, I would never leave you."

Perhaps, she was deeply afraid that he would've been disgusted by her appearance and actions that she perceived to be hideous and wicked. Davis consoled her worries as he brushed her silky hair.

After some time, Evelynn gradually came out of her emotional state and looked at him with gentle affection in her eyes.

"Let's go."

"Wait a minute. I think we have to do this as everyone else already did..."

Davis took out the spherical stone that had a glass-like surface on a particular side.

"This is...?"

"It's the Talent Assessment Stone. Everyone already assessed their talents and is cultivating according to the results more efficiently. Only you and I are left, but you go first."

Davis appeared to be a bit excited as he took out a podium and placed the stone on it, gesturing for Evelynn to touch it.

Evelynn gazed between the stone and Davis before she reached out her lithe hand and touched it. Davis activated it using the podium when the spherical stone began to glow with a transparent light before it suddenly took on a purplish-green hue.

But Evelynn, on the other hand, shook as she felt as though her entire body was being scanned to the spider lances behind her, especially her three dantians. It was only a single two-second sweep before the glow faded, replaced with characters appearing on the translucent glass-like surface.

[Bone Age: Less than fifty]

[Essence Gathering Cultivation Talent: Peak-Level Emperor Grade Spirit Root]

[Body Tempering Cultivation Talent: Peak-Level Emperor Grade Spirit Blood]

[Soul Forging Cultivation Talent: Peak-Level Emperor Grade Spirit Essence]

[Final Talent Assessment: Elite Emperor]

"Holy smokes! Your magical beasts' blood really did wonder to your energy sources, huh. Excellent indeed!"

Evelynn blushed at Davis's compliment as she lowered her head. It made her heart warm.

On the other hand, Davis's jaw almost dropped as he saw her talent rating, Elite Emperor. When her talent was compared to her fellow sisters, she won overall like it was nothing and also explained her rapid growth.

The magical beasts' blood that assimilated her body just didn't raise her cultivation but also improved her talent sources vastly!
